Description

Virginia March 4, 1773 £3 PCGS Very Fine 35.
Extraordinary grade for the issue and one of the nicest pieces we
have seen of any of the four denominations of these "London Notes."
These very large thin paper notes were engraved by Henry Ashby of
London and were printed in England. Priced in Friedberg at $3,750
for a VF 25 with higher grades simply listed as "rare." Newman
prices these up through the EF grade and values them at $4,000.
Only 500 notes of this £3 denomination were printed, the lowest
figure for any of the denominations. For this issue, the quality of
this piece cannot be over-emphasized. It is simply never seen this
nice.
